BACKGROUND
Pityriasis versicolor (PV) is a mild chronic infection of the skin caused by Malassezia yeasts. Although it is primarily seen in adults, children are often affected in the tropics .
METHODS
Over a period of 2 years, children (up to the age of 14 years) who were clinically and mycologically diagnosed as PV were included in the study. The clinical and epidemiological pattern in different age groups was noted.
RESULTS
PV in this age group formed about 31% of the total cases of PV; 4.8% cases presented in infancy. The commonest site of involvement was the face in 39.9% of the cases. Most of the cases presented in summer months.
CONCLUSIONS
PV is not an uncommon disease among children in the tropics. There is a sudden resurgence of cases in the hot monsoons and even infants are not spared.
背景
花斑糠疹（PV）是由马拉色菌酵母引起的一种轻度慢性皮肤感染。虽然主要见于成年人，但在热带地区儿童也常受影响。
方法
在2年的时间里，将临床和真菌学诊断为PV的14岁及以下儿童纳入研究。记录不同年龄组的临床和流行病学模式。
结果
该年龄组的PV约占PV总病例数的31%；4.8%的病例出现在婴儿期。最常见的受累部位是面部，占39.9%的病例。大多数病例出现在夏季。
结论
PV在热带地区的儿童中并非罕见疾病。在炎热的季风季节病例会突然增多，甚至婴儿也不能幸免。
